PARIS, Sept. 7.—In an Interview pub- lished in the Gaulois this morning, Munir Pasha, the Turkish Embassador, declares the published stories of atrocities and ‘massacres in Macedonia to be grossly ex- aggerated. Though such acts may have been committed by Turkish soldiers, he says, they are mere isolated instances and acts of reprisal for similar deeds committed by the insurgent: Turkey wants peace, he says, and has mobilized a sufficlent force to crush all opposition, which is the best means to prevent blood- shed and secure peace. Munir Pasha does not believe there will be war with Bul- garia, as Prince Ferdinand desires peace. He asserts that much of the money of the insurgents came from the ransom of Miss Stone, the American missionary. ————— Benefit Football Game.

S Special Dispat¢ch to The Call TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 6.—Jack Hardy, who arrived at Skagway last week on the Bertha, brought news of a disaster at Valdes that involved the sweeping away of all the reservation portion of the town | 1I¥ing west of the glacial stream known as the Valdes River. On August 21 an unusual high tide covered the Valdes flats. Simultaneously the stream flowing from the great galeier back of the western part of the town rose above its banks and swept away all the fmprovements on the tract known as the reservation and which principally belongs to James Fish & Co. A wing dam that had been built above the main portion of the town deflected the water sufficiently to_save the houses. The citizens worked valiantly to stem the flood wherever possible with sand, rocks and other devices, but their work was of no avail to avert the entiré de- struction of the west end of Valdes, as all of the houses, fences and other im. provements were swept into the bay. The occupants of the houses escaped. —————— ST. LOUIS TEAM TAKES TWO GAMES FROM DETROIT Chicago Scores in the Tenth Inning and Defeats the Players From Cleveland. AMERICAN LEAGUE. ET.

Several Hundred Wires Are Rendered Useless by Miscreants. OAKLAND, Sept. 6—Two large tele. phone cables, carrying from 10 to 200 wires each, were cut last night In this city. According to the telephone com- pany officials the work was done by some one familiar with the location of the wires, as well as the mathods by which they could be put out of service. The first cut was made at the pole at the corner of Thirty-fourth street and San Pablo avenue, where a cable carrying 100 wires was severed and the connecting telephones in that portion of the city put out of service. The second cut was made in a larger strand of wires running across ‘Webster-street bridge and carrying sev- eral hundred connections between Oak- land and Alameda. The cut here as in the San Pablo avenue case showed plain- ly that experienced hands had located the cable and rendered it useless. The telephone company early located the interruption in the service and put skilled electricians at work to make repairs. Ef- forts to uncover the identity of the wirs cutters have to date been unavailing. Most all of the cutting has been done late at night and at points and hours whers and when detection would be difficult. —_——— . Sudden Death. AKLAND, Sept. 6.—Kate M.
